Russian Sauna- Contrast Therapy

This is a short video I shot while on vacation in Belarus a few weeks ago. I was enjoying the "Banya" which is basically a Russian sauna. You spend several minutes in a VERY hot sauna, splashing eucalyptus water on the hot rocks to work up a real sweat! Then you jump into the ice cold pool (or pond, depending on the location). It's pretty intense, but incredibly rejuvenating as well. Contrasting (alternating hot and cold) is one of my favorite recovery methods, and can help improve circulation and flush out toxins (via vascular flushing), relax your tight muscles, cleanse your pores, and reduce inflammation. Some research even suggestions that cold exposure can increase fat metabolism (looks like I need it here, lol), and stimulate testosterone production! Remember, if you train hard you also need to practice effective recovery methods, including rest, proper nutrition, adequate warmups and cooldowns, etc. Take care of your body... it's the only one ya get! •Remember to SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, & SHARE my videos!!
